Despite trying to book during Brussels' annual seafood expo, we were delighted to stay and dine at this perfect downtown B&B. The location is convenient to the de Brouckere subway stop and the Grand Palace. The Downtown Residence has three rooms located above Restaurant Sainte-Catherine. Our 2nd floor suite had a large comfortable bed, ensuite shower and toilet, and a... More

On a short business trip to Brussels, I dined several times over two days at the restaurant attached to the Downtown Residence. I am not surprised by the terrific reviews of those who have stayed in the B&B, only a bit envious, as I was unfortunate enough to have landed in the hotel opposite as part of a SAS package... More

We booked based on price and availability, but this place turned out to be true gem! Location was very convenient to the train as well as the La Grand Place. We stayed on the second floor which had a separate sleeping and living room. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the huge windows and exposed beams: modern and... More

After a bad experience with Air BNB (Our host Maximiliian deceived us about the location and state of the lodging, so I advise much caution with Air BNB.), we needed to find a place to stay fast. We wanted to stay in the St Catherine area of the Brussels lower town. Luckily for us, we noticed the Downtown Residence as... More

Convenient to the Brussels underground, walking distance to the Grand-Place and most places of interest, and very close to Ste. Catherine’s church, the Beguinage, and the open area that was once the fish market. One underground stop to the Brussels Central train station and only four stops to Brussels Midi. There are three rooms, one on each of three floors... More

Found this B&B by accident. I travel to Brussels from time to time on business and was staying at a nearby chain hotel when I used Tripadvisor to find a bite to eat nearby. Ended up at the highly recommended Restaurante Sainte Catherine where I fell in love with the unpretentious environment and delicious food. Interestingly it turned out that... More

I have to travel to Brussels professionally quite often and I keep returning to this lovely B&B-style hotel year after year. Location is convenient at just about 200 m from the de Brouckére tube station and rooms are clean, spacious and ample. There are only three rooms and the way up is via a narrow and steep staircase so you... More

Stayed in this wonderful 3 room B&B. Rooms with private baths are very clean, bright, and spacious. Large windows look out on to the quiet street below. Bed was comfortable. The proprietor is charming and works very hard to please. The restaurant is quaint and the food delicious!! Would recommend this great place to anyone.

We stayed at the Downtown Residence for a total of 5 days and were very pleased. The location was most convenient to the historical part of the city. We ate in the restaurant each morning for breakfast and were able to choose our preferred time. We also ate dinner there a couple times. It was delicious and very reasonably priced... More
